Debating
Debating.
In the days when the Debating Contest for the Joynt Scroll was a Tournament event, V.U.C., as might be expected from the Law School, were able to carry home the Scroll more often than any of the others. With twelve wins to Otago's six, Canterbury's five and Auckland's two wins, we page 76 certainly led the field. Unfortunately, however, serious debating in association with the general hilarity prevailing at Tournament time was found to be impossible. By 1928 matters had reached such a condition that the Debate was discontinued as a Tournament event, and it is now held more sedately at some other time.
